And just who controlled that fleet of stealth bombers (I know the F117s called fighters but they are really bombers)

I think Reagan had very much to do with ending the cold war. "The bombing starts in 10 minutes". Both Gorbachev and Reagan had the same goal, but there needed to be a method to achieve it that let the Soviets save face. Reagan was able to pull the curtain which revealed a Soviet Union which had a thick veneer, but once broken down had the structure of cardboard. Once the curtain was pulled, Gobachev no longer had to pretend he was the all powerful wizard, and they could get down to the business of working together. Both deserve credit, not just Reagan, but it was Reagan who deserves credit for yanking Gorbachev out from behind the iron curtain.

just my take on it.
